Great stuff Wendy ! I had forgotten that little correction until you expounded on it and that was one of my favs back in I believe 85 it came out on the ” Brothers in Arms ” album . Hat off to ya girl !

Or the mayo jars with spare change buried there..dig ’em up and go “investin’ ” with your financial adviser down at the dog track (remember to bet on the hound that pees the longest!).

I read about that fire today, first I’d heard of it. Seems there were four exits in addition to the front one that most had entered through. At one, it’s alleged that a bouncer stopped people leaving. In 10 minutes of the start of the fire, the building was fully engulfed, the roof collapsed at the 10-15 minute mark.

That was not the worst, the 1903 Chicago theater fire and the Cocoanut Grove Fire remain much worse, both were accidental ignitions.

Back to your real point, as I understand it, yes, have your exits well planned, exit to where should be well known, too.

Whether nightclub fires or other disasters, there seems to be in some cases quite a delay in people realizing there is a real problem. I could not believe how smokey it was getting from about the 2 minute point on and no one seemed concerned. It seems it was not until the 5:22 point that people notice the fire in the ceiling and everyone goes to leave en masse

Copper, Silver, Gold, same column of the periodic table. No electricity without Copper and Silver. No electronics without Gold. You can’t eat it, but you can build a first world lifestyle with it.

Biggest threat to bitcoin is an improved version of bitcoin. I’d like one with a mint mark, so mints can promise to redeem their bitcoins in metals. Then bitcoin would become warehouse receipts instead of a tulip bubble.

It’s a millennial trap and it’s working. Many buying cryptos while sitting on cc debt, mortgages, student loans, car notes, etc, etc, etc… The value this generation needs to break free is going into bubbles (housing too). They will be slaves for life even if we win the coming wars.

Cryptos are feeding the millennial entitlement feedback loop perfectly. Get rich for little effort and no risk. What could go wrong? You’re either a millionaire or live in mommy’s basement until she goes on Medicare, no honest life in between those extremes.

Barnhardt Axiom. Don’t forget it and you won’t need to navigate the complex advantages/risks. The value of paying off ones house can’t be overstated. Get “title” (the full history of that word is important).

Make fun of it all you want, its not going away. Bitcoin will work out the bugs for the emerging, other cryptos.

It is in fact, a frontal assault on central banking financial systems and a system of fiat currency manipulations and control…especially control. Investment banks (should not be legal btw) are scrambling to put blockgain developers on their payrolls to catch up to this new paradigm.

I ask you, what’s the difference…crypto/fiat ?Today, if you had bitcoin in your wallet, you could exchange it for gold, silver or dollars.

In 1980, would you have thought that dissimilar peoples from around the globe, would be discussing the overthrow of the country on a “device” that fits in your hand un-tethered to wires?

“This is a U.S. Naval Pilot survival kit gold pack, from WWII. Gold coins are so universally accepted that they were included in the survival kits of American pilots during World War II and Desert Storm. The outer case is a heavy, tire-like rubber that was sealed shut when issued.Approximate size is 3.5 in. by 4 in. Inside it contains three gold rings and five gold coins: one George V British sovereign, one Victoria half-sovereign, one Edward VII half-sovereign, one French 20 franc Rooster, and one French 10 franc Rooster. The idea was that downed pilots could pay people for help, or barter for things, with the gold.”

Top one is also VietNam issue.
We all carried the red smoke/flare on our Ka-bar’s, the red pen flares were std issue for us as was the signal mirror and strobe light.(still have mine today) Emergency tracking radio was std issue for all VietNam war pilots and SOG/recon teams .
The center pouches contained survival gear, including the coins. Never saw a parachutist switchblade (shroud line cutter, hooked tool at top) included in any of this gear however, it would have been attached to the flight suit, not inside a survival kit, where it wouldn’t do you any good when needed.

Bet it comes in handy.
Spent some time in Marine Corps Air Station New River
(helicopters), now also tilt wing 🙂 Made a friend there
from Yonkers that his duty was to get all the survival
vests ready for the pilots, and was also an awesome
pin striper[sp?] of the designs per “customer request.”

Was walking down a passageway on board a LPH on MedCruise, there in front of me was a wide open wall locker stocked with survival supplies, and not a squid in sight, so there were a couple less signal mirrors and stainless US pocket knives on next inventory.

The tax mafia is already smacking their lips, but if you are smart with your cryptos, no one has to know you have any. IRS is trying to get info from Coinbase but there are many other exchanges around the world who will tell the IRS to pound sand. Fuck the IRS
